With the recent release of Chainsaw Man chapter 176, fans were presented with a multitude of subtle and direct revelations about the lore and worldbuilding through a spotlight on War Devil Yoru. Notably, much of this information was unveiled through the revelation that Yoru sees herself as the “mother”of the Tank and Gun Devils, who she transforms into weapons.
Undoubtedly, the statement holds immense significance in terms of the series’ worldbuilding and lore, which was most likely the intention of mangaka Tatsuki Fujimoto. As a result, it can be assumed that Yoru’s reference to her as “mother”in Chainsaw Man chapter 176 confirms her role as the progenitor of the Tank and Gun Devils.
Although Chainsaw Man chapter 176’s confirmation is intriguing on its own, it also sheds new light on other elements of the series. In particular, it changes the way we view the relationship between the Four Horsemen Devils. Previous interactions have hinted at a sisterly bond between them, but now it can be inferred that they are actually biologically related and may even share a mother.
Chainsaw Man Chapter 176 Teases the Introduction of the Four Horsemen’s Mother, Likely the Most Powerful Devil
One of the main ways Chainsaw Man chapter 176 alters our understanding of this previous event is by hinting at the existence of maternal and filial relationships among Devils. This hints at the idea that certain Devils can attain enough power to give birth to other Devils, either by force or voluntarily. Alternatively, it could imply that some Devils grow to such immense levels of fear and dread that other terrifying Devils are “born”from them.
Regardless of the situation, it is important to note that Yoru is deliberately identifying herself as the mother of the pair. By gaining knowledge of human society while inhabiting Asa’s body, she undoubtedly comprehends the connotations and significance of this term in its most literal form. This further implies that there is a shared understanding and purpose behind Yoru and the other Four Horsemen Devils labeling themselves as siblings.
It is logical to conclude that the group shares a common origin and creative process, given their collective title. Although there is an established hierarchy among them, with the Death Devil being the eldest and most dominant, this can be compared to siblings who are a few years apart. This further emphasizes the close bond and familial relationship among the four members, rather than them simply using the term “sisters”casually.
This indicates that each of them has a mother, similar to how War Devil Yoru identifies herself as the Tank and Gun Devils’ mother. It is highly probable that their mother is one of the most ancient and formidable Primal Devils in the series, possibly even the most dominant Devil. This is reinforced by the fact that both Control Devil Makima and Yoru were defeated by the Primal Devils Darkness and Falling, respectively.
As of the writing of this article, it is technically speculative that Chainsaw Man chapter 176 confirms Yoru as the mother of the Tank and Gun Devils. While it is reasonable to assume this based on the information provided, it is still a presumption and may be disproven in the next issue’s release.
